About This Coffee

Some single origins find focus through just one kind of processing. Others, like this coffee from the high-elevation town Yacuanquer, achieve nuanced layers because there are two kinds of home-processing at play. Selected farmers from the Café Occidente Cooperative contribute modest yields of coffee. Some farmers dry their cherry whole, beneath the sun, while others wet process their harvest. When blended together, two different shades of the same volcanic terroir merge into a coffee that’s as glinting and mesmerizing as a constellation in the autumn sky.

Colombia’s southern-most department of Nariño spills into the Pacific on one side and borders Ecuador on the other. In between runs the Andean mountains, upon which the active Galeras Volcano makes soil so rich that coffee has no choice but to grow.

Notes

Our coffees go through a rigorous selection and quality-testing process,
and we only share the coffees that have most captured our imaginations.

A cupping spoon and a soapstone hippo
are two things our Green Coffee Buyer, Charlie, takes with him when he's sourcing our coffees.

Blue Bottle Perfectly Ground is a proprietary technology that grinds coffee to exact brewing specifications, then hermetically seals it in an oxygen-free environment we call "the dome." This coffee tastes so fresh, not even our baristas (or our founder, James) could tell the difference.
